Those two examples you've given (asking the computer about the network and printer) don't need ai (LLMs in this context) to exist. They need to be pre programmed absolute functions. Suggesting that these LLMs are a step towards that not only ignores that we already have voice assistants built into computers, but ignores the fact that LLM outputs are volatile and can't be trusted.

    What I'm getting at is you won't need absolute functions to pre exist when you can just ask your computer and it's able to poll the relevant resources and format a reply, of course current models can't do this but if you think that history ended and there will be no more developments in AI then you're not being serious.

    LLMs have the spotlight at the moment because natural language has been a Holy Grail of AI research for a long time but all the other types of models are amazing at other things, it's only a matter of time before the various pieces are combined to make some really useful and powerful tools
